HYTRACLab

The HYTRAC Lab is in the Department of Geoscience at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. We love tree rings!

[HYTRACLab @HYTRACLab]

The @HYTRACLab in the @UNLVGeoscience department at @UNLVresearch is new to twitter! We use tree rings to study:

✅ hydrology
✅ climate
✅ watersheds
✅ river & fisheries ecology
✅ extreme events

across western North America - follow us for science updates from our group!

Congratulations MS student Laura Dye on winning the best poster award at @UNLVGeoscience #GeoSymposium2020! 'Tree rings reveal multi-century snowpack dynamics of the Cascade Range' @UNLVresearch

[HYTRACLab @HYTRACLab]

Thank you to all the amazing @UNLVGeoscience student organizers who made a remote version of #GeoSymposium2020 happen this year!

[HYTRACLab @HYTRACLab]

On Friday, #HYTRACLab undergrad & MS students participated in the @UNLVGeoscience #GeoSymposium! There is still time to view their posters (w recordings) and talks - links below!

And awaiting the recording of MS student @Ingaedulisk 's talk on extreme events in the Upper Fraser River, B.C, Canada (will post)

@kiramhoffman @CentreBv @ajtrant @UWaterloo Wonderful news!! Congratulations!! :D

[Hopkins Press @JHUPress]

"A persuasive, entertaining explanation of how the codes contained in tree rings reveal the effects of climate change." A lovely review of "Tree Story" by Valerie Trouet (@epispheric) in @ShelfAwareness is the cherry on top of our #EarthDay50 celebrations: https://t.co/K6u2vSXRow

Congrats MS student Laura Dye on your successful proposal defense today!

[HYTRACLab @HYTRACLab]

Happy #EarthDay2020 from the #HYTRACLab!

[HYTRACLab @HYTRACLab]

Great job by @Ingaedulisk defending her MS these proposal today! Here she is hoofing it up to the #ContinentalDivide trail in Pintlers Wilderness #MT to collect tree-ring data. @UNLVGeoscience @UNLVresearch

@L_tulipifera @BLCoulthard @Ingaedulisk @prehistormic @TerraeMaria Oof did not mean to 'productivity signal' in this very difficult time for everyone (during which full disclosure my productivity has been total crap!)

[HYTRACLab @HYTRACLab]

.@SlackHQ has been 🔥 for our group working remotely! Here, @Ingaedulisk and I live-troubleshoot traumatic resin ducts in a Pinus engelmannii specimen from Sicamous, #BC.

[HYTRACLab @HYTRACLab]

Awesome

A true #dendrochronologist, she could not live without her scope! 🤓 @UNLVGeoscience @UNLVresearch

[Inga K. Homfeld @Ingaedulisk]

When furnishing my room I never thought about adding a scope and hundreds of samples but it's a look I'm beginning to like! #ScienceFromHome #laboutpost #keepingsafe

[HYTRACLab @HYTRACLab]

#HYTRACLab is also preparing for remote work, doing our part for vulnerable populations with #SocialDistancing. #Tellervo dendrochronology software is making this possible via remotely-accessed server (sending scopes home with students). Dendros, if you want to set this up PM me!

[UNLV @unlv]

UPDATE: Out of an abundance of caution, #UNLV will transition to remote instruction beginning Monday, Mar. 23, immediately following spring break.

More details will be at: https://t.co/2MS719rvSI

dfoliatR is out! A major effort from @ChrisGuiterman @DisturbedDendro & Ann Lynch. Congrats!

We had a 👌day in #ArrowCanyonWilderness setting up new sedimentation rate & flood study with @USGS NV Water Sci Center & @blmnv!

Extensive fines over the past ~100 years = big dunes in the background. + 100 yr old mesquite throughout canyon are loaded w flood impact scars
